sugestions on lighting

[jonah]

i dont think my ornate is getting enough sunlight and i dont have anywhere at home to give her light so shes sat in the dark for long periods of time so i was woundering what light or brand of lighting would be best suited for my baby pac? also i work in open areas alot where the fields arnt treated with any pestersides and the soil isnt treated in anyway is it ok if i feed earthworms to my frog that i may come across?

Whatever light you get you will want something 50w or less. Having too bright of light can stress them out or hurt their eyes. You can get a flukers clamp with a built in dimmer so you can easily adjust how much light and heat it gives off.

Personally I wouldn't risk the worms

ive never heard of a flukers clamp before can i pick one up at most petshops or do you know of an online sight that may be cheaper?

[MatthewM1]

I got mine at a pet shop for $15

You can get it at Petco online a couple bucks cheaperhttp://m.petco.com/product/116922/Fl...th-Dimmer.aspx

just get regular low voltage bulb to provide night/day cycle, anything would do including regular table lamp I usually use 13W energy saving bulbs for mine, unless it is a very big tank ( not for pacs). you sure don't need anything with a dimmer for lights, you need those for heating lamps.

for worms- never feed your pac anything from the outside, it may not contain pesticides, but may have heavy metals and who knows what.

Having a dimmer on normal incandescent bulbs for day and night can be useful, but unless you need supplemental heat from a heat lamp then it isn't entirely necessary. You do need to provide a 12 hour day/night cycle though.
